From the Exposition across Russia: how the "Future in Flowers" festival inspires travels

---

The "Future in Flowers" festival continues to delight Exposition guests. The flowerbeds-expositions are worth a look not only because of the art of florists and gardeners, but also to learn even more about our country. For example, many regions decided to present their main tourist attractions here. Ancient fortresses, picturesque nature and luxurious architecture — one look is enough to make you want to book tickets and pack your bags.

St. Petersburg

The floral exposition on the Neva River is inspired by the exquisite gardens of Peterhof. Here you can see the famous fountains "Samson" and "Chess Mountain", roses of rare varieties and rhododendrons, which the palace alleys are famous for. Those who dream of having a beautiful vacation, plunging into the history and culture of their native country, will find a trip to Peterhof a real discovery.

Magadan region

The region is known for its fantastic nature. There are snowy peaks and forest valleys, cleanest rivers and the sea with a picturesque coastline. And all this was reflected in the flowerbed-exposition. Its main highlight were the figures of orcas, because they can be easily seen in the Sea of Okhotsk. In addition, other marine animals can be observed in the region: belugas, seals and even whales. Traveling to these lands will be a real adventure.

Sevastopol

Those who are fond of sea romance should go to Sevastopol. This is what is subtly hinted at by the sailing ships furrowing the floral "seas". And you can also see the Cembalo Fortress, an ancient Genoese structure with towers, on display at the exposition. Built in the 14th century, today this unique historical monument combined with the beauty of Balaklava Bay attracts tourists from all over the country.

Caucasus

Caucasian republics are actively presenting their tourist potential. In Ingushetia's flowerbed you can see one of the architectural treasures of the region — the towers of two rivals, located in the area of buckthorn grove near the spur of the Rocky Ridge. Dagestan, which is definitely worth seeing in person. North Ossetia presented the impressive Fatima art object, symbolizing the "Fatima Holding the Sun" sculpture installed at the entrance to Vladikavkaz. The exposition of the Chechen Republic features unyielding mountains among flowers and greenery, and in the center there is the legendary blue lake Kazenoy-Am, which is famous for its purest icy water.

Republic of Buryatia

Buryatia could not help showing its main wealth. It is, of course, Lake Baikal. It is not surprising that ecological tourism is actively developing in the region. Great Baikal is magnificent at any time of the year. Another attraction and a bright element of the flower exposition is the sculpture "Mother Buryatia", symbolizing the hospitality of the republic.
